What do individuals and anti-FGM programs need to consider? The Nigerian population is becoming increasingly mobile, both socially and economically, resulting in increased intermarriage and a blurring of traditional places of residence, ethnicity and religious distinctions in the practice of FGM. There is now a large, young population with increased access to information through mobile phones, and an increased use of social media offers new opportunities for transmitting information about the dangers of FGM. Expanding the use of media tools and involving key public figures in the anti-FGM movement, including from the entertainment and sports sectors, is key to appealing to the younger generation. Including FGM in the school curriculum is essential to ensure approved information and education tools are used. Awareness-raising should take place among men and boys as well as women and girls, and be supported by engaging those in public office (at all levels). Faith leaders and traditional leaders are critical to the process of raising awareness in communities where religion is cited as a reason for the continuation of FGM. A major challenge is to persuade and support the traditional practitioners of FGM to give up a practice that continues to be an important part of their livelihood and status in Nigerian communities. 28 Too Many has been unable to find a network that brings organisations together in Nigeria. Setting up such a network at a federal level, with state-level subsidiaries, would facilitate exchanges of information and ideas as to what works most effectively to achieve the abandonment of FGM.
